California’s undefeated run came to an end Friday as it lost to Santa Fe 31-21. Santa Fe shares the Del Rio League’s top spot with La Serna, which soundly defeated El Rancho. Montebello, meanwhile, fell to Bell Gardens in the battle of sole possession of first place in the Almont League.

Welcome to week 8 of the high school football season. We have eight games scheduled for tonight with a ninth set for Saturday. Undefeated California and Santa Fe face each other in a key Del Rio League matchup with the winner grabbing at least a share of first place. La Serna, which is tied with California and Santa Fe for first place in the Del Rio, will look to maintain its momentum against El Rancho. Montebello, meanwhile, will host Bell Gardens for sole possession of first place in the Almont League.

LA HABRA – La Habra High School started quickly and finished fast in an 11-6 victory over visiting Sonora in a Freeway League boys water polo match Thursday.

The Highlanders (4-2 league), who held a 5-2 halftime lead, never trailed.

Bernie Hefner, Ben Russell and Sean Pederson each scored two goals for the Highlanders, who entered this week ranked No. 7 in the CIF-Southern Section Division 4 poll.

Nick Anderson scored twice to lead the visiting Raiders (0-6 league).

After taking a three-goal lead after two quarters, La Habra seized control by outscoring Sonora 3-1 in the third quarter.

It was the Highlanders’ second triumph over the Raiders this season. La Habra won the first meeting 19-4 on Oct. 2.

“We beat Sonora by a more significant margin before,” La Habra coach David Edwards said. “We were coming off a loss to Sunny Hills (9-8) on Tuesday and that took some of the wind out of our sails. We just wanted to come back, get a win and just play together as a team again.

“When we’re on, we play really well. When we’re off, we’re terrible. We need to find some consistency.”
